I’m a Thai actor. I can’t speak for all actors, but I get paid ~250k baht per episode for a lakorn (TV drama). A typical lakorn has ~15 episodes. I usually do 1 per year. Add to that the salary I get from the TV network to stay with them.

It’s honestly a kind of dream job as I work around 2 weeks a month, have 7 weeks of paid vacation + I can call in “unfit to work” anytime with no question asked. We often work 2 to 4 hours less than the official time we are paid for. We get paid health cure and the job is not that hard or stressful when you are good at it (I’ve done it for 15 years, it’s like a second nature now).
The pay is very good, around 100k (€/$/chf, it’s basically the same) at entry level and around 220k after 20 years of experience. I’m at 150k for a 80% part time contract.
The only downsides are the working hours, 24h a day 7 days a week which gets tiring as you age. And that much money for not much work makes me lazy, not being at risk means I’m not making efforts to gets better. I dream of being an independent worker, working from home or anywhere in the world on my framework 13 by making creative work, but I’m not pushing hard for that dream as everything is ok with my life and job.
I know, that’s totally a “1st world problem” and I’m not complaining at all. It’s just that being too comfortable in something does not push you forward.
I wanted to get into the Tower so bad when I was younger. I perform great under stress and I love that kind of job. But FAA regulations ban me outright because of a heart problem I have and now I’m too old. Haha.
Glad you enjoy it! It sounds like a really cool job
Yeah, work-life balance is very important. I love that in acting we shoot for a few months then have the rest of the year off during which you do various gigs and ventures and relax.
